“Man is something that shall be overcome.Man is a rope,tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss.What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.”-- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Long article with plenty of the usual PC defensive remarks about how intelligence isn't just formed by genes, Yawn. Still, it's worth a read.

The reality is that genes are us. And, yes, genes and their influence can be changed by external and internal environments, but the fact remains that genes (or more properly our DNA codes) are the essential element in who and what we are.

Here's one of the most important paragraphs in the above linked article: "So scientists turned to what’s now called the genome-wide association study: They sequence bits of genetic material scattered across the DNA of many unrelated people, then look to see whether people who share a particular condition — say, a high intelligence test score — also share the same genetic marker."This is the same common sense technique used to find genes for other effects in who and what we are including, but not limited to, finding genetic causes for various diseases. There's nothing new about this technique, it's just a matter of finding patterns.
